Bonesetter interventions and consequences.

Objective: Delaying the treatment of bone and tendon injuries may cause unmanageable complications. Bonesetters continue to cause delays in treatment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the medical outcomes of delay due to bonesetter intervention and factors affecting patient treatment preference.

Total hip replacement for an ochronotic patient: A technical trick.

Patient: Male, 46 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Akkaptonuria Symptoms: Hip pain Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Total hip replacement Specialty: Orthopedics and Traumatology.

Objective: Unusual or unexpected effect of treatment.

Background: Ochronosis is an inherited metabolic disease in which there is an accumulation of excessive amounts of homogentisic acid in the connective tissue.

Isolated sacral dislocation in a 4-year-old child.

Sacral dislocation is an uncommon form of injury in childhood. A 4-year-old girl who was injured in a motor vehicle accident was seen in the emergency room. On physical examination, ecchymosis and tenderness in the abdomen and sacral region was identified.

Traumatic shoulder fracture-dislocation in a 7-year-old child: a case report.

Introduction: In contrast to adults, traumatic glenohumeral dislocation is a rarely observed condition among children. In some cases, success in durable reduction with conservative methods, and achieving lasting treatment, may not be possible.

Case Presentation: In this study, the case of a 7-year-old Turkish girl with a Salter-Harris type II fracture and glenohumeral dislocation of the proximal humerus due to a fall from a height of 1.

Intramedullary nailing and angulation prevention in distal metaphyseal tibial fractures.

Intramedullary nailing, which is preferred in tibial diaphyseal fractures, is also frequently used in distal third tibial fractures. Various angular deformities, including varus/valgus deformity, may be observed during postintramedullary nailing. Orthopedic surgeons use several methods to prevent this problem.

Extra-articular Tenosynovial Chondromatosis Mimicking a Neoplastic Disease in the First Web Space of the Hand.

Tenosynovial chondromatosis is a very rare disease. The most common symptom is a slowly enlarging soft tissue mass, which may be painful or cause limitation of joint motion. Plain radiograph may appear normal during early phases of the disease, but subsequent imaging may be necessary to exclude other pathologies.

Compartment syndrome on a patient's forearm related to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, nonirritating, toxic gas produced by the incomplete oxidation of hydrocarbons. Common sources of CO include motor vehicles, house fires, furnaces/heaters, and wood-burning stoves. It is a serious health problem resulting in approximately 50,000 visits to the emergency department and is responsible for 3500 deaths annually in the United States.

Outcome in unilateral or bilateral DDH treated with one-stage combined procedure.

Unlabelled: The surgical treatment of patients with neglected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has been the subject of controversy. We asked if age affected outcome in patients with neglected DDH with unilateral or bilateral dislocation who underwent one-stage combined procedures. We retrospectively reviewed the results of 40 patients (51 hips) treated with a one-stage combined procedure consisting of open reduction, pelvic osteotomy, and femoral shortening.

Successful treatment of hemophilic hand pseudotumors by only radiotherapy.

Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare complication of hemophilia. We describe a 14-year-old young male with hemophilic pseudotumor in the second and fifth fingers of the left hand. We treated him only with radiotherapy.

Outcome of open comminuted tibial plateau fractures treated using an external fixator.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of open severe comminuted tibial plateau fractures treated with minimal internal fixation and circular external fixation frames.

Methods: Fifteen open comminuted tibial plateau fractures were involved in this retrospective study. In eight knees, the fracture was reduced through an extended open traumatic wound.

Osseous lipoma: eleven new cases and review of the literature.

This study describes the clinical features, radiological appearance, and treatment of 11 new cases of osseous lipoma and reviews 301 other cases in the literature. Osseous lipomas are classified by the site of origin: either within bone (intraosseous lipoma) or on the surface of bone (juxtacortical). Intraosseous lipomas include intramedullary and intracortical lesions.

Technique and complications of callus distraction in the treatment of bone tumors.

Introduction: This study investigated the effects of chemotherapy, defect length, and patient age on the outcome and complications of callus distraction as a limb salvage technique in 17 patients.

Materials And Methods: The mean patient age was 18.4 years (range 7-47).

Electrocution-related mortality: a review of 123 deaths in Diyarbakir, Turkey between 1996 and 2002.

Electrical burns are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality, and are usually preventable with simple safety measures. We conducted a retrospective study of non-lightening electrocution deaths in Diyarbakir, Turkey between 1996 and 2002. All 123 deaths investigated were accidental.

Management of comminuted closed tibial plafond fractures using circular external fixators.

Various types of external fixators have been used to treat Ruedi and Allgöwer Type III pilon fractures, as serious complications can occur using conventional treatment principles. However, insufficient reduction and loss of reduction are two of the main disadvantages of external fixator treatments. We conducted a retrospective review of 14 patients with severe highly comminuted closed fractures of the distal tibia (Ruedi type III) treated using cross-ankle external fixators.

Non-reducible, open tibial plafond fractures treated with a circular external fixator (is the current classification sufficient for identifying fractures in this area?).

While some researchers advocate primary arthrodesis for the treatment of open, severely comminuted tibial plafond fractures, others argue that an external fixator is an alternative. In this study, we obtained intermediate clinical and radiological outcomes on treating such fractures with a circular external fixator. Twelve patients with non-reducible, open tibial plafond fractures were treated with a circular external fixator and minimal osteo-synthesis.
